I am interested of the PP aquanaut but I am not sure what color I want to get. Which color do you think it is better, the brown or white? IMG_1525644536.157024.jpgIMG_1525644551.471858.jpgIMG_1525644556.845794.jpgIMG_1525644562.342184.jpg

Thanks!!! Please help me to pick one. I like both of them but I am not really sure. White seems to be a permanent color while brown is a seasonal color so I don’t know which one holds more value if I wanna resell later. Anybody knows?

This is one of my most favourite watch. The lady Aquanaut. And always love the white. They are all beautiful. White, The new 2018 Blue-Grey, Black and Brown. Sold out fast though.

Beautiful watch, it's still on my grail list regarding watches. I just bought the new Omega Seamaster and Rolex (going to pick it up in Denmark). I quite like the new blue-grey Nautilus. Did you consider the idea that you can swap the straps ;)

Personally, I am thinking of buying the Patek Calatrava but I also enjoy my Audemars Piguet. they look quite similar.

Thanks for all your inputs. Yea I am thinking with the white face, the strap can easily interchange with other strap color while brown face is harder to match with other strap. I like the elegant look of the brown but I also like how versatile is the white when matching clothes. Do you guys think the white doesn’t look as sophisticated? The new blue is nice too but it seems difficult to match with outfit.

If you can get the new Blue that will be the most resell value at the moment. Are all four colour available at your store?
For me neither colour of this watch look good when swap strap. They look their best on single colour imho. I like this 5067 especially the white. So pure, Chic and the diamonds around look so beautiful blend in with the white dial.

Are seasonal colors generally more sought after? I haven’t seen the blue before, only from picture so not sure how it will look.

All colour are sought after on this model. Have you ask your store what colour are available? If none, maybe you can request to order one in colour you preferred. Most store require 20% deposit. There also waitlist.

What other watches do you have? If the rest of them are neutral in colour, I would pick a Nautilus that has different combination from your current collection. If most are white or light coloured dials then a coloured dial on the Nautilus would widen your collection’s colour spectrum. With a watch like the Nautilus, I wouldn’t even want to blend my clothing with it, it should stand out on its own. Just my two cents [emoji4]

My SA is able to order for me but I have to wait at least few months and put down deposit as well. I didn’t consider black because I have a black watch already. Blue seems hard to match. So I end up with white or brown now....decision decision! The SA said most popular color are white and black but she has also mentioned blue watch is a trend now for all brands. I am just waiting to see for more votes before I make a decision.

I like the casual style with the rubber strap on Aquanaut and is much cheaper than Nautilus too. You are right, the PP watch should stand out on its own [emoji16]

That’s great. I’m glad you started this thread as this maybe my next watch (after a watch this coming) Just love how pretty 5067 in white. Here is a picture of the new Blue-Grey (Cr. Juwelier_Kutter)

It’s a Patek Philippe, there are no bad choices. My personal preference however would be the Nautilus. Of the two Aquanauts you posted, I think the brown has the edge.
